Porch Restaurant on Reflection

[Gilliganluvsmaryann]

I know there is a $30 charge per person. Can you choose more than one of something or is it just one selection per course? When we were on Beyond and dined at Eden the waiter brought us whatever we wanted and even brought us more than we asked for.

Yes, you can have more than one of something. There is an additional charge for the sea food tower but they will customize it if there is something on it you don't like.

The Porch is not a restaurant wehave had the chance to dine in.  As we will be on the Silhouette on an upcoming cruise, is lunch available on embarkation day?

Thanks ... too bad.  Embarkation lunch is always a challenge when booking AQ. Not a big fan of the crowds at the buffet. Would love it if Blu would be open for lunch ... just a wish. Would even pay for an MDR Embarkation lunch.

Have you tried Sushi on 5 for embarkation day lunch?  This is our go to when the MDR and Luminae are not an option.

We dined at the Porch for lunch on a sea day and it was very nice...though very warm despite the circulating fan.  No need for a reservation...they never seemed to be all that busy during lunch hours.

We will need to try it ... the reviews have not been spectacular but maybe a chance to form our own opinion.  Thanks!

We have found the crowds dimished on embarkation day now that we can drop our bags in cabins immediately upon arrival. Not so many people hanging out in the OVC.

Staying on topic, we found servers at The Porch more than willing to provide just about anything desired.  Actually, that's our experience with all the dining venues with X.

You can purchase Premium Access which includes lunch in the MDR on embarkation day.

We are not sushi eaters, but found Sushi on 5 to be a wonderful place to eat! We did it on embarkation day and it was a nice place to go, sit and have a quiet, relaxing lunch. They have some non-sushi items and a wonderful Yuzu sorbet! 
 

We also tried the Porch. As @Georgia_Peaches said, it was hot. We had the lobster roll and it was pretty scant on lobster! We thought the Lawn Club was better.

Just learned something ... will investigate.  Tks.

Just understand this is relatively expensive. It has to be purchased for every day of the cruise and everyone in the cabin has to purchase it. For our upcoming cruise it is $32/day.

 

it does have some nice benefits, but some might be included with your AI package (if you purchased the AI).
